“Today I received 6,240 yuan, which I couldn’t even think of 10 years ago,” said a villager. He witnessed the transformation of the village collective economy from weak to strong. 10 years ago, Shibadong Village was very impoverished due to no industries and no young labor.

It is agreed that 60% of the collective income will be used for disaster relief, disability assistance, scholarship, new rural cooperative medical treatment, and public facility construction and maintenance, while 40% will be used for dividends. The villagers are more willing to participate in village collective affairs, with their sense of belonging, happiness, and achievement continuing to improve.
“Shibadong Village will continue to focus on industrial revitalization, expand ways to increase the collective income, and build a demonstration zone for industrial development in the Shibadong area with surrounding villages, allowing more villagers to share the fruits of development,” said Shi Jintong, Party secretary of the village. Now, everyone feels proud to be a member of Shibadong Village.
